The only ones not convinced are also the only ones who really matter: the Afghan voters. After millions of fraudulent votes and widespread intimidation and violence in the first round, few see the need to risk getting their fingers cut off, or worse, casting votes which in all likelihood will be negated by the widespread corruption of the NATO-installed government. Voter turnout, which was disappointing in the first round, will likely be even worse this time around, as cynicism and bad weather conspire to keep Afghans home on election day.
